Public vs. Private
Sticky notes are either PRIVATE (default) or PUBLIC. Private sticky
notes are viewable by the author and any forwarded recipients.
Public sticky notes can be seen on the page by all Diigo members with the Diigo toolbar or
Diigolet installed, and its viewing mode
set to "All". The highlights associated with public sticky notes also become
PUBLIC, i.e., viewable to all Diigo members.
Public highlights and sticky notes should be done with care. To minimize graffiti and spam, we have raised the bar for making
public highlights and sticky notes: you need at least two friends in the Diigo community to do so. (
A "friend" in the Diigo community is a member who joined upon your invitation or
who invited you to join.).
